Continuity mistake: When the movie opens, Eric is in the bathroom and looks over at Adam, who is leaning up against the wall. However when we see Adam in Saw 2, he is propped up against the pipe. Eric hasn't moved him, as he's chained up. Obviously when they set up the bathroom for this movie, they did not put the dummy Adam in the same place. This scene takes place immediately after the scene in Saw 2, and thus there's no time for the body to have been moved at all. (00:00:50)

Continuity mistake: In the "pig" room the string around the tape player suddenly disappears in the middle of the tape message. Jeff's right hand never changes position and the string was tied around the middle of the player, he would have had to move his hand to get it off. (00:58:00)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff finds the second box (after the freezer room) he takes the card and flips it over to see the picture on the back. In the closeup his thumbs are on the bottom corners, but then the shot cuts away to a view from his left and you can see that his left thumb is at the top left corner and his right thumb is as least halfway up the card (instant cut, no time to move his hands). (00:48:30)

Continuity mistake: The blood stains (streams) on Jigsaw's chest constantly change after Jeff slices his neck. Sometimes the only blood stain is a trail that goes directly down the side of his hospital gown, other times it's halfway down his chest. The shots constantly go back and forth, so it's not just the blood flowing down his chest.

Revealing mistake: When Kerry is in the Angel trap there is a close up of her about to put her hand in the acid for the first time before it changes to a spinning shot. In the close up, watch very closely and you will see her fingertips enter the acid but she doesn't get burned or scream in pain. (00:15:40)

Suggested correction: You don't always feel the pain straight way when under immense physical stress.

What about not being burned? That's still a mistake.

Continuity mistake: There is a smear of blood on Jeff's right temple that disappears in the shot right after he drops the saw blade. It reappears in the very next shot.

Continuity mistake: When Jeff flips over the 3rd card he is holding it with his left hand by the left edge of the card, but when the scene (instantly) cuts away to a view of in front of Jeff you can see the he's holding it by the bottom (look at the way the card it bent).

Nick Bylsma

Plot hole: Out of all of the chains Troy had attached to him, one is hooked to his jaw which is near impossible to do as that would probably kill you and ripping it out would too, which is why Amanda would have placed it there. Jigsaw wouldn't have approved of it, and obviously there's no indication that Amanda had a medical profession, so how did she hook that chain to his jaw and even if she did, without killing him?

Suggested correction: First of all, she doesn't fall to the ground. She stumbles after being shot and then slowly collapses to a seated position. There is also no dummy being used, as Shawnee Smith's face is visible in every shot of her until she dies.

Trivia: During the brain surgery scene Jigsaw relives a romantic scene in a park, during one of these shots you can see the character Obi who was burned to death in Saw II.

Question: So in this film, through the flashbacks, we learn a lot about the previous films. However, with all that is known, why does Jigsaw leave Adam in the bathroom and close the door? He says game over - did Adam fail? Is the suffocation by Amanda the punishment for failing?

Answer: It was too late for Adam to solve the game the way he was intended to- the key went down the drain, which Jigsaw actually didn't intend to happen. Adam's key was meant to be tied around his neck in such a way that neither him nor Lawrence would be able to see, and Adam would be allowed to go free and escape if he were to locate the key- which would only be possible if he looked at himself. The whole idea behind his puzzle was "looking at himself instead of others, for a change." The reason it went down the drain instead, was because of Amanda, who continuously made traps unsolvable. Instead of tying it around him like Jigsaw asked, she just tossed it on his chest, which defeated the whole purpose. Also, he was given a saw just as Lawrence was, as a much more violent plan B, another way he could save his own life.

That doesn't make sense because Jigsaw told Adam that the key is in the bathtub at the end of the movie.

Chosen answer: Jigsaw most likely decided to leave Adam in the room in case Gordon didn't shoot him. Adam wasn't the one who failed, it was Gordon. He simply decided to leave him in there, the easy way out. As for his suffocation, Jigsaw already mentions Amanda's emotional side also being her weakness. While Adam was meant to die after a certain amount of time, Amanda's emotions got the best of her and so she decided to mercy kill him.

Answer: Adam didn't just lose because he let the key get drowned. He had the two hacksaws and he broke his own in a hurry. And there was also the toilet lid that he could have used to smash his foot like Eric did in Saw III. Jigsaw never said that improvising or thinking outside the box was against the rules. So even if you wipe the key out of the equation, Adam still has at least two other ways to release himself from the chains.

Answer: In Saw III, Jigsaw states that he "despises murderers", so when Adam tried to shoot him, in his eyes, he just attempted murder. There is also the fact that Adam killed Zep as well, so maybe Jigsaw regarded that as straight-up killing.

Answer: Well Jigsaw told Adam that the key to his chains was in the bathtub, without knowing he pulled the plug, drowning the key with it. However, he could have responded instead of trying to shoot Jigsaw. After that, he most likely came to the conclusion that Adam didn't learn his lesson. And Amanda coming back to kill him is most likely a mercy kill, though it's not confirmed.
